Liverpool flop on Chelsea radar

Conte looking into Benteke deal

Liverpool flop on Chelsea radar

17 June 2016 - 06:47

Chelsea are planning a summer swoop for unsettled Liverpool striker Christian Benteke. The Belgian had a dismal debut season with the Reds following his move from Aston Villa.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • The 25-year-old struggled to hold on to a regular starting place last term with manager Jurgen Klopp preferring the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino ahead of him for the centre-forward role.

    According to The Times, Blues boss Antonio Conte is eager to pursue a deal for the Belgian marksman with a move for Juventus' Alvaro Morata being much more complicated.

    It is also thought that the Reds could cash in on their player as he is unlikely to play a huge part under Klopp next season.

    Benteke made just 15 league starts for the Reds during the previous league campaign.
